mouth terrific explosion occurred in
the paint shop Of the Burlington & Mis-

Washington Letter.

II the reader will reflect for one mo-
ment I know he will endorse my con
clusiOn that this administration is one
Of the huge shams Of the age. It came
into power with flying banners inscribed
all over with the word reform" and with
promises as thick as the forest leaves, OF
benefits that should follow the turning
out OF the rascals." The same vote that
elected Cleveland President gave him
forty-three majority in the House OF
Congress. Nov behold the result. Near
ly three-fourths of the administrative
term has expired, and not q single meas
ure Of national importance has been
passed. Mention if you can what has
benefited the people outside Of the reg
utar routine, or marked this administra-
tiOn with any characteristic feature.
1t can not be done. The whole admin
istration Of Cleveland thus far has been
purely negative. All promises of ire
form" were long since forgotten. The
great ambition seems to be Autter for a
while in the public gaze, and then this
administration will pass down and out
as one OF the most unmitigated failures
on record.
Congress will be urged this winter to
pass some measure looking to the cor
rection Of the present system of heating
railroad cars. 1t undoubtedly has the
power to legislate upon this subject,
and the experience especially for the
past year has fully demonstrated that
the stove must 60, and some other means
Of heating be devised that will insure
greater safety to the travelling public.
A strong effort will be made by the
District democracy, aided by various
state clubs organized here, to have the
next democratic national convention
held in this city. Several meetings
have already been held, and considera-
BILE correspondence had in relation to
the matter, and the leaders in the move
ment claim that there is fair show Of
success. Warrington is getting to be
the central point Of numerous large an
nual gatherings, and the number is con-
stantly increasing. The project to build
an immense hall, with seating capacity
for 5000, with all modern conveniences
is meeting with great encouragement.
The commissioner of the general land
Office is remarkably modest in his de-
mands, considering that he is an i'm
portant factor in a reform" admins
tration. In his estimates for the next
fiscal year he asks for ITS additional
clerks and an increase in the appropria-
ton for his bureau over that of last
year, Of nearly one million Of dollars.
II all bureau officers were like Sparks,
and their requests should be granted by
Congress, there would be no occasion
10 worry about the surplus in the treas
lry.
Figures at the treasury show that dur
ing last month We exported -four to the
ralue of $5,351, ,812, and wheat to the
1alue Of q, ,701, $50. This year the Sep
'ember expectation Of wheat has fallen |
If over one-half, and the expectation Of |
]our has increased almost two-thirds /

The Schemers must do Their own Work.

The Argus is not campaign paper

nominees as long as it can find them
within the pale of fitness and merit.
Such men can be found all along the

party a tool with which to gain personal
benefits, irrespective Of the duties the
party owes the people, then they must

FalsihcatiOn or Darkness Necessary tO Their

We know it is rather grating on the
ears of the old time party fixers to hear
a paper give an honest expression Of its
views on party matters. But somehow,
the Argus has gotten into the habit Of
telling the truth, and if it hurts the
democratic nominees all we have to say
is that we are sorry. They have been
placed where Justification or darkness is
essential to their election.-Pldtte Gen.

THE annual report Of Gov. West Of
Utah estimates the population at nearly
100000, and the assessed taxable valua-
ton of property at S35, 1865, ,865. Com
mercial affairs are in a prosperous con-
dition; agricultural products abundant
and Of excellent grade; the stock inter-
est Aourishing, and the mining outlook
promising. 1t is probable that the
question Of Utah as a political factor
in national affairs will be considered in
connection with her application for ad-
mission; but neither great political par
ties, SO far as the past history Of this

any degree OF certainty to their sup

THE great statue of Abraham Lincoln

the waters of Lake Michigan, little
"Abe" Lincoln, son Of Robert Lincoln,
stepped up to the base of the flag cover
ed bronze figure Of his grandfather and
pulled the rope which held the covering.
The folds slowly unlOosed and dropped
at the base, and the tall, erect figure of

to moment later by renewed roar OF
cannon. The Grafton was delivered by

What They Want.

1t must not be supposed that because
we have the law against the unrestrict.
ed sale of bogus butter, that we are safe.
The men who arc interested in this
miserable business of aduterating but
ter possess both money and energy. and
they are putting forth every effort to
remove from their business the restric
tions that Congress has placed upon it.
They do not care a continental for the
two cent tax. That is as nothing. But
the license feature is troublesome If
they could get the retail dealers relieved
of the license provided by the law, they
would secure all that they want. That
would open the door to the great fraud
as wide as it has ever besn opened.
The hope of this adulteration business
is in selling butterine under he repre-
sentation that it is pure butter That
has always been the secret OF whatever
success it has achieved. 3nt that can.
not be done under the present law, and
the retail dealers are not willing to
pay a license to sell thing which they
known they can sell only to those who
keep restaurants, hotels, aud boarding
houses. Remove the license and it
would be found in every store, and their
violations of the law against selling it
for pure butter would be more frequent.
AS butter producers We must be up
and doing in the matter. We must
make ourselves heard in demanding the
maintenance Of the law just as it is
Congress must be made to know that
We will not quietly submit to any
change. The frauds Of the past, and
the disposition of men to perpetrate
frauds upon both producer and con
sumer in this matter, is sufficient to
justify us in demanding stringent laws
upon the subject.
